Most of the Make Poverty History campaign has been geared towards the G8 meeting next week, with it being identified as a point at which any major changes and policies are going to be made.
There's been a massive build up to this - Live 8, Long Road to Justice, large public displays of support this weekend and of course the White Bands - and the whole public campaign is about to reach it's climax when the G8 members get together.
Regardless of which way the G8 decision swings, i think it's going to be difficult for Make Poverty History to keep up i'ts momentum, at least from a public support point of view, once the G8 is over.
The general public are fickle like that and without a point to focus on i think public interest will soon be lost.
so I would like to know what people think is next for campaigns like One and MPH - are they just going to fade out post G8 or if not, what will they turn their focus to next to try keep public interest and support....?
Any thoughts???
